"Things are getting worse and worse, the world may be collapsing, the environment is falling apart, corporations are getting more and more powerful, they're stomping on you and you're trying to fight back, but it may be hopeless." Yes, but what about the roleplaying game you're reviewing?

As a long time cyberpunk junkie, I think this book is essential. In fact, both Cy_Borg and Augmented Reality works with Cyberpunk 2020/Red perfectly well. And these two resources are really all you need to run nearly endless jobs, adventures, and missions. Great review, Ben, as usual.

I heard Free League just acquired The Muppets IP from Disney. That means SMORGAS-BORG: The Swedish Chef Roleplaying Game can’t be far away... 😂 Nice review video. 👍🏽

[reubenmccallum]

For me, the lack of density is a big plus, especially combined with the striking visual design - I'm more likely to remember where to look in a book when its a discrete rule combined with a visual.

The real corporate evil was the kickstarter fulfillment process.

I got the western on acid rules that you showed a while ago. I don’t play rpg’s any more, but I enjoy collecting and reading the rules and enjoying the quirky layouts, rules, and lore. I’ll be adding this to my list!

[MrElliptific]

I like the genre, enjoy the novels, bought several Cyberpunk rulesets. In the end, I found it too depressing to GM cyberpunk adventures and found playing James Bond like RPGs more uplifting.

Geezer
Great video, as always. Personally I always loved cyberpunk. Of course back in the 80s I had a 14" mohawk in real life, so no surprise I guess. Yes it is the darkest possible setting ever.
Gaming on.

After two games, I'm thoroughly enjoying running this. Lots of flavor, just enough crunch.

[rubinelli]

I have a feeling that the Knave structure would work well in a cyberpunk setting. You are only as good as the chrome and apps you're carrying, after all.

[razorboy]

Got my copy a couple of weeks ago. It's really pretty and the combat seems a bit more crunchy than Mork Borg but I've yet to run a game of it.

[chasusafa]

"Dual Logans" sound cool. You get to be like a crazier cyber Wolverine

[harkejuice]

I just got this in the mail yesterday. I love it! The style just pulls you in and I love showing it off. Thanks for the review QB! Going to grab AR because I hit the cyberpunk bug with this. (The game being on sale over the holidays totally didn't contribute!)

[SJGaming]

Looks like rolling dice (players only) and armor reducing damage is a lot like the cypher system. Cool setting!

[timothyyoung]

with all the drama lately Mork Borg/Cy_Borg will be my prefered system to run

1-6: Very.

Theres a third party source that allows you to add fantasy races with stat bonuses. So if you wanted to run a grim dark shadowrun campaign you can

[WittyDroog]

While it's more crunchy than MB, I feel, it's still a much lighter system to run cyberpunk while still retaining the heavy themes. Don't get me wrong Cyberpunk RED and other rpgs of the genre are great (I like The Sprawl) but for something quick and to the point this fits the bill really well. If your table has played MB it's a delight to change gears to this very easily and my players really like all the winks and nods of story references to MB that have been transplanted into CY Borg.

[ZolYinPodcast]

Just snagged me a copy with your link. Will be a breath of fresh air away from all this OGL 1.1 debacle.

Thanks Beast, I've been itching to run a Shadowrun campaign for a while. I'm a big fan of the SNES game.

Find a new game you like, folks!

_Fly high!_

[DUNGEONCRAFT]

Solid. I also want to be a corporate enforcer hell-bent on bring AOL or Myspace back.
